Nice explanation of how to maximise energy production from solar photovoltaics. It's a shame for your theory that they atually recoup energy costs in the first year or two after installation. Which is not so shabby really. The embedded energy in a coal power plant is equivalent to its first 4 months of generation, for example.
The bookshelf given only had Dilbert and Garfield, neither of which are insightful or humane.

I find that one problem is that it's still single-threaded, and that's not going to change quickly.
Some operations really can take long enough (complex regexps in large datasets, or connecting to a dead nntp server, for example) that you'd really like to be getting on with something else while you wait, and you can't.
Still, there's lots of things I'd like to be kept.
There is a big sticker under the bonnet of my Citroën Xantia saying it's expressly forbidden to use it in the US or Canada, so they may be out of luck finding one.
In terms of energy storage, there's potentially lots of solutions, but if you're using solar to power heat or cooling, assuming a well insulated house, that can be done at the time of greatest energy supply, and then allowed to warm or cool slightly as supplies wane.
Of course, use photovoltaic cells to heat the buildiong they're mounted on is a little of a weird thing to do unless they're being used to power a heat pump.
Of course, you'd wonder why people were using a convoluted irregular plural when the vast majority of words and nearly all new coinages in standard use use the regular plural form in English. But never mind.
Why send texts? Because it doesn't require all the "Hi, how are you?, How's the weather"..."Bye, nice talking to you, see you soon" effort, and it doesn't interrupt the flow of what either of you were doing.
National City Lines bought up most of the trolley systems in the US in the 1930s and replaced them with buses bought from their main shareholders GM. Of course they had to buy three times as many buses as trolleys, as buses simply don't last as long. And they had to buy more supplies from Standard Oil and Firestone, other shareholders. By the 1950s, these more expensive to run systems were shut down, with a Federal antitrust case eventually being brought against them for exactly this, but involving a fine of only $5000 in the end.
Passenger rail in the northeast US does not earn a profit.
Passenger rail everywhere else in the world does not earn a profit either.
Interesting. So why has the franchise for the East Coast Main Line in the UK just been renewed with the winning bidder paying £100 million a year for the privilege of running it?
If it's anything like the service in the UK on trains that are almost the same speed, it'll be free in First class and start at about €5 for half an hour in Standard class. Of course, it may differ for whatever reason.
Non flickering? I've never seen a fluorescent that flickered at 60Hz. And it's a very long time since I saw one that flickered at 50. Electronic ballasts all the way, baby: easily 1kHz of flicker.
But I don't see why it shouldn't be capped. I mean, that's the bit that actually costs the providers money. Still, extra GB don't cost as much as mail-ordering the CDs.
One of my long term coding plans is to make a fork of the GIMP that has a sensible name, but I haven't thought of it yet. Maybe a few other alterations, too, but that'd be trickier.
Well, it's a decided advantage if the lights can be made to be as safe with a shorter yellow/amber period because it significantly increases the junction's throughput.
Is it entrapment to shoplifting to put expensive goods on display in shops?
If the people do not respect the law, the people will die. Unless it's shoplifting, fraud, etc, etc. Admittedly, your average American only dies once every 7000 years in a car accident, but your average Brit takes 14000 years to die in one, so obviously standards can be drastically improved.
Well, road wear's generally considered to vary with the fourth power of weight, so it is mainly the heavier trucks that cause the damage. But a 3.2 ton car's still causing 256 times the road damage of my 800kg car.

Power from the moon rotating the earth? I'll have 250 MW, please.

More water gets sweated out as it evaporates more easily.
Does emacs have a multi-threaded mode?
Can you say Nokia 7280?

should do it, I'd have thought. Then restrict it to a tree structure only under there and everybody should be happy.
But you knew that anyway.

They should make it hard to pass. It's hard to drive a car without putting people at risk.
Wow. You wrote about 1000 words to explain how geographic VoIP numbers don't work in the UK. When the actual fact is that they do.
Dell did try, but they sold virtually none. Just seems the form factor's a killer for PC buyers and a USP for Mac buyers. Weird.
I don't get why you don't want to buy one. Well, I do understand, but you've not elaborated your reasons.
